It’s that time of year when I share my favorite heroes and heroines from the novels I have rated 5-stars. Noble men who overcome tortured pasts, flaws and the odds against them to pursue love and heroines who persist against great obstacles to be with the man to whom they would give their heart—strong, intelligent women of character. Every one a worthy hero and heroine. The best are set deep in history.

This is a list of my favorites, my Christmas gift to you! This just might be your next year’s reading list!

Now on KU for the first time, two of my holiday novellas, The Twelfth Night Wager and The Holly & The Thistle. Get in the mood for the season!

"Loved the sizzling attraction between these two and the little Christmas magic that bought the two together. The Twelfth Night Wager had everything I could ask for. Wonderful romance, likeable characters, and a sweet storyline!" ​— Lilly Pond Reads

"...a wonderful addition to any romance lover's collection and in this reviewer's humble opinion, goes best with some chocolates and a nice glass of wine." — Breath of Life Reviews

It takes talent to write a great historical romance novel, but to write three in a row and make them all worthy reads is a challenge. Of course, I recognize this omits some wonderful single titles and some great multi-book series, but if you like to read trilogies, as I do, take a look at my list of the ones I recommend HERE.

Who among us ladies hasn’t dreamed of a knight in shining armor? Or, living in a time when valor prevailed and honorable men did great deeds and women of character loved them. (I did say we were dreaming, right?) These historical romances will take you there.

Since the medieval period in European history spanned the 5th century to the 15th century, all the stories on my list take place during that time; however, some Scottish, Irish, Viking and Pirate/Privateer historicals from that time period not on this list can be found on those specific “Best Lists” (links on the right side of my blog).

See the new "Best Medieval Romances" list HERE.

’Tis the season to dive into a wonderful collection of Christmas historical romances from Regency Scotland to Medieval England. Once Upon a Christmas Past… 99¢ for 4 stories of Christmas and love from NY Times, USA Today & Amazon Bestselling Authors, including me! It will put you in the mood for the Christmas!
See it on Amazon.
 
“Walker stuns with her gift for storytelling, magically entwining historic fact and fiction to create a thought provoking, sensual romance, one that will stay with you.”
 – Chicks, Rogues & Scandals

With the collection you get A Secret Scottish Christmas, book 4 in the Agents of the Crown series, so you'll be ready for book 5, my new release.

The long-awaited Rogue's Holiday, the story of Robbie Powell, the bad boy of the Powell family, book 5 in the Agents of the Crown series.

Robert Powell’s work as a spy saves the Cabinet ministers from a gruesome death and wins him accolades from George IV. As a reward, the king grants him a baronetcy and a much-deserved holiday at the Royal Pavilion in Brighton. Robbie thinks to indulge in brandy, cards, good horseflesh and women.
 
But when Muriel, Dowager Countess of Claremont, learns of Sir Robert’s intended destination, she begs a favor…to watch over an “errant child” who is the grandniece of her good friend living in the resort town. Little does Robbie know that Miss Chastity Reynolds is no child but a beautiful hoyden who is seemingly immune to his charms.

Preorder on Amazon.

"A dazzling mix of passion, adventure, mystery and love." ~ Breath of Life Reviews

London 1816

Hugh Redgrave, Marquess of Ormond, the only son of the Duke of Albany, hides his true identity as the legendary Nighthawk—the thief of Napoleon's most valued secrets—behind his life as a horseman and a rake. Returning to England after years in France, he knows he must choose a wife from among the ingénues who appear each year at the ton, but he hopes to avoid what will be an arranged marriage for as long as he can. He prefers his work for the Crown.
 
When young Lady Mary Campbell rides across his path on a magnificent black stallion, he is enthralled. Independent, intelligent and rebellious, Lady Mary is bored by the prospect of her first Season. A bluestocking hoyden, she craves adventure and loves the world of her statesman uncle, who is often called upon by the Crown for difficult tasks. When her uncle leaves for Paris, she goes with him. But, once there, who should appear in King Louis’ court but the mysterious Lord Ormond?
 
Lady Mary fears her growing fascination with the rake and resents his interference with her plan to uncover the truth behind a treacherous plot to take down the newly restored Bourbon king.
